Chrissie Neil (1927-1991) was a prominent motor rally racing driver from Glasgow, Scotland. Chrissie Neil followed her sister, Andy Neil into motor racing, acting as her as navigator once she had passed her driving test.[1] The two sisters were able to procure a Morgan sports car after Peter Morgan (son of H.F.S. Morgan, the chairman of Morgan Motor Company) personally saw them racing.[2] Together they raced and competed in the RAC Rally 1953 driving the Morgan Plus 4.[3] In 1954 they competed in the Monte Carlo Rally, driving a Standard Vanguard and they also competed here in 1955 and 1956.[4][5][6] Chrissie entered the Monte Carlo Rally alone in 1958.[7]
